The Kia EV3, described by reviewers as the automaker's newest and most affordable electric vehicle, is drawing attention for its combination of range and price following initial test drives.
According to Electrek, the EV3 starts at $29,890 in the United States. The model offers up to 321 miles of range, a figure also cited by InsideEVs. Electrek reported that the car comes with a choice of two battery sizes and available all-wheel drive, which the outlet characterized as more configuration options than competing vehicles at a similar price.
Electrek also noted that while the vehicle begins near the $30,000 mark, the price can increase quickly as buyers add options. The outlet's first-drive impressions were based on a day of driving the EV3 around Vancouver Island.
